I read LW for a few months but I haven't commented yet. This looks like a good place to start.
There are two points in LW community that seem to gravitate towards ideology IMHO:
Anti-religion. Some people hold quite rational religious believes which seem to be a big no-no here.
Pro-singularity. Some other people consider Singularity merely a "sci-fi fantasy" and I have an impression that such views, if expressed here, would make this community irrationally defensive.
I may be completely wrong though :)
I'd replace your item 1 with physicalism. The "rational religious" example you propose might get criticized here, but not for belief in the supernatural.
